"What does my princess have in mine for today" he asked driving pulling off.
"Is it okay if we go to the hospital. . . I really want to see if Naraku is alright"
He sighed a breath of relief. He feared she wanted to see Sesshomaru.
"Sure thing princess"
"Excuse me" Kagome said gently tapping the counter top "Would you please tell me the room for Naraku Onigumo, please"
"Hold on a sec" she said rudely "Cant you see I'm busy" she hissed before seeing Bankotsu "I-I mean how may I help you"
She wasn't paying any mind to Kagome but had her eyes on Bankotsu. She even had the audacity to lean over giving him a view of her assets.
He was torn between anger and disgust. Anger because of the way she treated Kagome. Disgust because she was an obvious whore. He despised loose women. They had absolutely no boundaries nor loyalty.
Kagome wasn't so innocent she didn't realize what the nurse was doing. . . or at least was trying to do. By the look on her boyfriends face, he wanted to throw up.
"Excuse me" she said a little louder this time trying to get the nurses attention.
"What" she hissed softly.
"I said could you direct us to the room belonging to Naraku Onigumo" she said sternly.
"I'll watch your tone little girl" the nurse snapped.
Bankotsu had just about enough of this slut but something caught his attention. And it was radiating off the little woman next to him.
'Is this what Jakotsu was talking about'
~**Flash Back**~
" I really like Kagome" Jakotsu said over the phone "She's kind sweet and just to adorable and easily embarrassed" he squealed in delight "I could have a lot of fun with her"
"Easy Jak" he chuckled "Kagomes' mine"
"Who knew she had a dark side as well. . . if I hadn't seen it for myself, I definitely wouldn't have believed. Hell, I still don't"
"What are you blabbing on about now. There isn't a mean bone in her body" he replied.
"Well the sweet Kagome your dating will probably cry for accidently stepping on an ant saying something about taking the life of another poor creature and leaving the poor family in despair about their lost one" he said dramatically "but on a serious note. . . when she gets angry or scared, she's a different person"
"Jak would you just get to the point" he said a little annoyed.
"Impatient bastard" Jakotsu muttered.
"What did you just call me"
"Any way, you already know that she's a Miko" he said getting into it "but not just any Miko, the Miko"
"Would just stop speaking in riddles baka and spit it out"
He loved his cousin dearly. He truly did, they were like best friends but sometimes Jakotsu questioned Bankotsu intelligence.
'Lucky he's rich' he mused.
"I mean she's the Shikon Miko. By what the monk says, her powers are controlled by her emotions. Should she come under a great sense of fear or overly angry her powers takes over accordingly"
~**End Flash Back**~
He didn't believe his cousin than. He honestly thought the idiot had hit a few bars with out him again.
But apparently Jakotsu was telling the truth.
He watched carefully as Kagomes' eyes started to see red. Her aura was angry but not as powerful as it was the other night and in the past.
"You better listen to me you little bitch" she snapped making Bankotsu little on edge.
She was not speaking in a voice that was hers. It was dark, manish, and raspy.
The nurse was to shocked to speak.
"I don't have time for some wanna be top notch looking bitch who probably peeked in high school while giving out blow jobs when she was 15 but finally realized her golden years were gone and couldn't bare to look at herself in the mirror so now goes around flaunting saggy assets hoping to relive the glory days but in reality is nothing more than some chalky worn out burlap sack that even their step dad wont want"
Bankotsu was in pure shock and the nurse was choking on her own sobs but that didn't stop her.
"Now I suggest that you weak sniveling cradle robbing whore better give me the information I demand or you will find yourself checking into one of these rooms for even entertaining the idea of taking what is mine" she threatened dangerously.
"He-here you go" she cried before bolting away in tears to the nearest bathroom.
It was a quiet walk towards Narakus' room. Though she didn't have much control over her defensive side, she was aware of what was occurring. She felt horrible. She hated causing others pain even in self defense.
To her, her powers were a gift and a curse. She was blessed with both powers over life and death. She was proud of her powers of life. To heal all living creatures. Like she did for the flower she gave life to that would never bloom, but because of her powers, it would never have to worry about a short life. Those are the sides of her powers she loved to explore and become one with, but her other side was one she could do with out.
She never really tried to tame that side of her. It always terrified her. It was like she became war lord who was relishing the sight of another's suffering. That's why she would always try to avoid confrontation and people who disliked her. She didn't want any trouble to the point where that side would emerge.
They will look at her as if she was a monster that needed to die.
They would hate her.
They would fear her.
They would shun her.
She was brought to Earth when she felt a gentle hand on her arm.
She snapped around and saw it was Bankotsu.
"Did you here me" he asked gently taking his hand away.
'Now he's afraid of me too' she thought sadly.
"No" she whispered covering her eyes with her bangs "I'm sorry I wasn't listening. What did you say"
"I said we're here"
She looked up and saw they were in front Narakus' room.
She knocked gently and entered hearing the okay.
"Hey" Naraku said looking up from his magazine.
"Naraku how are you feeling, are you okay, do you need something, are you hu-" her frantic rant was cut short when he started laughing.
"I'm okay Kagome, you know I can take a punch" he smirked.
"Maybe, but not a hole in the gut" she said frantically with tears ready to fall.
"Bankotsu" he said getting his attention.
"What's up"
"Could you give my sister and I some privacy so we may speak" he said.
That's another trait he shared with Sesshomaru. Making a question sound like an order/statement.
"Sure" he said before closing the door behind him.
"What happened" he said seriously
Naraku was not fooled by the tears one bit. He knew she was worried about him but that is not the reason behind the tears. Even though they have been separated for years he could still read her like an opened book.
"It happened again" she hiccupped.
She knew she could never fool Naraku so just decided to confess.
"It happened again last night but it wasn't as bad as before and it happened again down stairs but this time it was merely words" she cried softly into her hands.
She heated feeling this way. So weak and vulnerable especially in front the ones she cares about. She didn't want them to think she was weak. But what else could she do but cry.
He watched in heart break as she tried furiously to wipe away the tears, but to no avail. They jut kept coming.
For a girl like Kagome, this was a torture worse than death. Her true personality was that of a flower. Fragile, beautiful, kind and brings happiness to those around them as they come into full bloom.
To have such a blood lust creature hiding in her and using her body in rage and anger was a burden her kind hearted nature could never take.
"A-and B-Bankotsu saw m-me that w-way" she cried.
She feared that he would leave her like all the others.
She didn't want to be alone any more. Not when she finally found happiness.
"Come here Kagome" he ordered gently.
She saw him scoot over so she could sit.
"Before you do anything rash you have to think this through" he advised "Bankotsu isn't one to scare easily. Before you do something you may regret, talk to him. Maybe he was just shocked and didn't know how to react"
"How is Sesshomaru" she asked changing the subject.
'She was always so stubborn' he thought, but it was out of his hands. She was a pro at avoiding unwanted subjects.
"He is fine" he growled a little annoyed that she would even ask about him so soon.
After Inuyasha explained how he would call Kagome his mate during the whole or deal, he realized that the entire thing was unpreventable.
Sesshomaru was and still is hopelessly in love with Kagome.
The ride was quiet as they drove around aimlessly.
"You are going to break up with me now aren't you" she whispered softly not looking up.
"What" he heard what she said just fine but wanted to know where it came from.
"You no longer want me after seeing me like that" she whispered.
His silence confirmed her fears.
He didn't answer, instead he kept driving for about 20 minutes before pulling over.
He got out and went to her and gently pulled her out. Not letting go of her hand, he made her follow. They were in the park but he didn't stop, he kept going deeper and deeper until all noises of the city were dead to his ears.
He cared for Kagome very much and was not ashamed to call her his but he did have a reputation. He and his brothers had many enemies. He will not let them know Kagome was his weakness. He will not put her in danger by being kind and gentle to her in public.
When he thought they were deep enough he stopped. He turned around and made her face him. He cupped her face in his hands and crashed his lips into hers.
The kiss was rough, hard, and filled with raw passion when he pushed her against a tree as if trying to force body into his.
Kagome was beyond shocked.
Why was he kissing her? Didn't he want to leave her like the rest?
She was even more shocked that she didn't fear Bankotsu right now especially after Sesshomaru. She found this . . . pleasurable.
She closed her eyes just enjoying this moment.
As they went on never breaking the kiss, he had her legs wrapped around him as his body pushed her deeper keeping her body up with his hands digging into the bark on either side of her.
"Kagome" he moaned softly reluctantly pulling away but they gotta breath some time.
"Kagome look at me" he said breathlessly regaining his voice "I don't care about what I saw back there, you just caught me off guard which never happens. I mean I was shocked, yeah but I'm not dumb enough to let you go because of it. Look Kagome, I know what happened back there isn't the real you and it terrifies you everyday knowing you cant control it. We all have our obstacles we wish to overcome but are to afraid to face. "
He let her down so no she was standing on her own but still had her caged in his arms.
"I'm not very good with words, I've always been a man of action so I hope I phrase this right. I have never run away from a battle. I face my opponents dead on with confidence and determination. Believe me when I say that I will never run from you and I will never let you force yourself away from me because you think you're protecting me. I know you're scared Kagome but you have to ask yourself are you willing to give up all your happiness in terms of fear or are you ready confront what you fear the most to finally be happy" he said encouragingly holding out his hand.
She just stared in shock for a few moments as his words sunk in.
She took his hand and he pulled her into his arms securely.
"I will never abandon you Kagome"
